Bockenauer Schiefergestein Riesling Trocken, Schafer-Frohlich

Note:

The 2018 Bockenauer Riesling trocken Schiefergestein offers a thrilling and utterly pure, fine and mineral as well as floral and transcendent bouquet of crushed slate and even ashes intermixed with highly ripe and concentrated Riesling berry and fresh pineapple aromas that reflect the warm vintage. Filigreed or fine-boned on the palate, this is a fine and crystalline, persistently salty and vivacious dry Riesling with great mineral tension, finesse and elegance. A fabulous wine that is already on the level of a cru, it`s one of the most attractive wines in the portfolio of Schäfer-Fröhlich, and it`s hard to find a wine of similar complexity at this price point. This 2018 is tight but refined, ripe but pure and fresh and of tantalizing elegance. Enormously salty and mouth-titillating. Order as much as you can get and be prepared to be thrilled. 12.5% alcohol. Tasted in April and October 2019 (AP 10 19).
